Gather Your People

I’m hearing from many of you who are starting your fall Bible studies. You have me giddy and praying! It brings me such joy to be a part of all of your ministries and obedience in your places. photo cred @alwaysmeghanxo

I love building tools to equip you, who are doing the real brave work of leading and pouring into people. I read Beth's post about this last week and cried and nodded through the whole thing. Of all the things I do- building things that bring people around God's Word is by far my greatest joy!

I have also heard many of you with questions about which study to do and which tools to buy. Stuck,Chase and Restless are all formatted in the same way. Here is the vision I have for my studies:

Bottom line, if you don’t have a fall study yet go grab neighbors, or coworkers or friends from your dorms. It is my dream that women will be gathered together all over the world studying God's Word. You’ll be surprised how hungry and thankful people are for this.

Jennie, are you saying invite unbelievers to a bible study?Yes. I am saying yes. I built these to go deep and challenge those of you who have been studying Jesus since you were an infant to live more deeply and kept the language and conversation welcoming to someone considering Jesus. The conversation of these studies levels the playing field. Because they bring out the struggles and doubts and our basic need for Jesus every day. And I hope that will cause those considering Jesus to feel safe enough to share their struggles and doubts too.

Many have asked the question what is the difference in the Restless book and the study ? If you are doing Restless in a group, I recommend buying the study. It’s deeper and you will be able to do more processing and working through your passions and dreams and gifts. We really dig into the life of Joseph and all of the tools work together for a richer experience. Here’s more:

Here are the tools. My favorite thing about what you see below.... the conversation cards I believe in them. So you just have to get the whole kit. I never dreamed people would do any of the pieces here separately. They are built to all go together in all three studies.

If you are a church who has many small groups and just want to buy extra deck of cards and leaders' guides for each of your small groups- you can now. Each piece of the kit is now sold separately on Amazon and Givington's for every study! YAY! That is new. If you need videos to introduce your study to your friends or church- each study has a trailer here. Click on the "learn more" link under the study you are interested in and and the trailer will be on that page.

For Stuck, Chase and Restless you will need the whole kit if you’re leading this fall. And Givington's is actually offering a discount on all of my material this week. Plus they are giving part of the profits to our IF Rwanda girls who are starting college as we speak.
